SI. HAMILTON WAS EXCUSED
-1
tttpoH Objection of Counsel foe State
and Court Took Recess Until
2 o'clock This Afternoon.
NEW YORK 8. With the opening
of tho Thaw trial today District Attor-
ney Jerome said that ho could only
ask tho .court formally not to confirm
tho report of''tho- lunacy commission
but Justice Fitzgerald overruled the
motion and ordered that tho trial pro-
coed. "Dr. Allan Hamilton wa3 called
as .a witness by the defense but Je-
rome dbjectcd to him testifying say-
ing thrtt It would open an entirely nerw
case and ho was sustained and the
witness excused. Later the state and
defense both rested. Justice Fitzger-
ald ordered that the jury bo locked
up from now on in tho court house af-
ter which the court took recess nntll
two o'clock this afternoon when Mr.
Delmas will open with a speech for
tho defense which is expected to last
until the adjournment of court for to-
morrow. Harry K Thaw la the happiest and
most confident man of the number for'
tho defense for ho thinks that he -will
be a free man by the latter part of tho
week. His wife and lawyers are -of tho
same opinion.
But there Is a distinct possibility
that the jury will not agree that tho
admitted slayer of a man shnR go
scot free. -This jury la made jrp of
"epreseiilMtWew-T-OTVbnslnc!!HTnen
who are familiar with both the smooth
and seamy side of life in this great
metropolis and there may he In their
ranks one or two men who will hold
that Thaw waited too long before tak-
ing the law into his own hands even
though he had what he thought was
justification.
With the trial gi owing nearer and
neaner to its close the Interest In tho
final outcome Is becoming more in-
tense. It is the one topic of conver-
sation in the hotels in the clubs and
cafes in tho streets and cars and even
In the homes and the police are mak-
ing preparations to handle a record
breaking crowd about .the com t bunding-
when tho jury finally retires to
consider its verdict.
Judge! Fitzgerald Is not expected tq
consume much time in his charge to
ths jury and tho present Indications
are that he case will be In the hands
of the jury next Friday afternoon.

COMERCIAL CLUB NOTES
COMING MEETING AT TORT
On Anrll 22nd and 23rd a meeting
of the Toxas Real Estate & Industrial
Association will be held at Fort Worth
at which time various matters of vital
Importance to the progress and devel
opment of Toxas will receive attention
at tho hands of those present. It ap
pears that a larger number of Com
mercial clubs In West Texas have al
lied themselves with this association
than from any other section of the
state and it is confidently expected
that this part of Texas will have a
good representation present on the oc-
casslon named.
The tide of immigration from tho
north and east Into Texas Is something
wonderful and that portion of Texas
that Is working on practical business
lines to develope her resources and
locate new people and new money will
get the largest benefits from movmenta
of this character.
The organization t le West Texas
Federation of Cmmejclal Clubs has
already attracted a great deal of at
tention and from the publicity given
the movement has caused the Texas
Real Estate and Industrial Association
to expect a large representation from
West Texas on tho 22nd and 23rd Inst
and It Is hoped that they will not be
disappointed as this opportunity wiR
famish" a means of securing a great
deal of valuable advertising for this
part of Texas at a very nominal cost.
Simply the expenses of the delegates
that attend.
The entertainment committee of the
25000 club and business men are
requested to meet at the 25000 club
room at 3 p. m. tomorrow to map a
program to entertain the business
men's delegation that will arrive In

The record made by this joung giant
of fraternities in the manner of raising
a fund to build this home is some-
thing remarkable and has no parallel
In fraternal history. In 1897 the sum
of $2000 was appropriated by the
grand lodge of that year and set aside
as a nucleus around which to raise a
fund for this purpose. Llttlo did the
members of that convention think at
the time that in less than 10 years a
fund would be in sight of sufficient
magnitude to begin so great and lau-
dable an undertaking: but duilng tho
administration of our fellow-townsman
O. P. Thomas as grand chancellor of
Texas it was decided that with a
small additional per capita tax on the
membership of Texas that this work
could be begun at once and prepara
tions were matlp to settle the matter
affirmatively at the Grand lo'dgo con-
vention at the close of his term. at

About nlno o'clock last Tuesday

tempt to ond the llfo of Sidney Corlcy
a oung man about twenty years of
age who resides near Wheat. Tho cir-
cumstances as near as wo could gath-
er them from our Informant nro as
follows-
About nine o'clock Tuesday night a
man came to the residence of young
Corloy's father near Wheat and stated
to the young man that his wagon had
broken down near tho house and that
ho needed some assistance to ropnlr
It young Corloy readily consented to
lend him any assistance ho could and
the two started together to tho wogan.
When about thrco hundred yards from
tho houso tho stranger turned on
young Corley nnd told him to say hU
prayers as ho was going to bo killed
at tho samo tlmo grasping him with his
loft hand whllo with his right he made
two unseccessful attempts to stab him
in tho heart. Young Corley struck his
nssallant a terrific blow but was being
stashed at by his asallant all .tho
while when finally Corloy was tolled
to the ground.

ho had killed Corley Jpmncd on hta

rious. There woro slight cutalnfllcted
near tho heart and soipq slight cuts on
his hands. Every effort Is being made
to apprehend the guilty party but so
far no arrests have been made.
Savernl weeks ago Sidney Corley re-
ceived an anonymous letter riom sonm
one In the Indlnn iVultor warning
him thnt he would bo killed and dur-
ing a formor residence In the Territory
he was shot and wounded In the log
bj some villain attempting his life The
only cause which could be assigned
for any one having designs on his llfo
Is that tho hand of a joung lady whom
he has beon pnlng hta respects to
for several years has boon sought by
others and the others having boen ro-
fufled thought that If Sldnej Corley
could be gotten out of th way their
own causo could ho pleaded more suc-
cessfully. What makes the matter or
